Seven total 40-man roster moves announced counting the Jake Hager claim by Seattle.

Guessing if 2 is the over/under on appearances for Weber until he's DFA'd, we'll see a lot of action on the under.

[Devinep]

I was really hoping they’d immediately start playing Taylor over JBJ. It doesn’t matter if JBJ is hitting against lefties or righties since he can’t hit either

[BruisedCrew]

I’d really like to ask Counsell why he is hitting Vogelbach second instead of Urias, who’s a better hitter and faster runner. Especially since he usually seems to like alternating righties and lefties as much as possible. But now he has 3 lefties at the top of the order.

[wibadgers23]

Stearns has certainly whiffed on some free agent signings the past couple of years but Wong was not one of them. He’s been great so far.

I wonder how long pitchers keep sort of pitching around Yelich? Youcan get him to swing and miss now and it's not like he's driving the ball, so even if you give up contact, it's probably just going to be a single.

Was just saying that same thing. Are pitchers still afraid of what he did 2 years ago?

Need to get some protection after him in the lineup. I think he’ll start regaining some of his power after that (or at least I’m hoping that’s the case).

I imagine the response would involve some sort of veteraness and less pressure on the young player, though urias was batting leadoff when Wong was out so who knows. Maybe some sort of superstition about vogey liking the 2 hole or something.

[AKCheesehead]

That Ahmed looked like he’s been to the Andy Haines school of hitting.

[sixtolezcano16]

Why is JBJ still starting with Taylor activated?

[sixtolezcano16]

I guess that we will have to watch this trash offense, until Stearns decides to move on it in Nov.- Dec.

[sixtolezcano16]

At least Peralta saw 5 patches before striking out.

Now is a great example of why I don’t like Vogelbach batting before Yelich. He’s on second with Yelich, their best base runner, on first base. If someone gets a base hit it’s going to be station-to-station whereas if Urias was on second you’d likely end up with Urias scoring and possibly Yelich on third base on many base hits.

[jason21nl]

The Avi AB felt like it lasted 30 minutes

[wibadgers23]

Just an absolutely miserable at bat by Narvaez.

[Jopal78]

and there is the Brewers offense in a nutshell. Runner on 3rd with less than two outs and they can’t put the ball in play.

[JET15]

OK, what's with the morons waving the cans of beer behind home plate like a bunch of underage teenagers who just got there first beer using a fake ID? Just annoying. Second group of them

[sixtolezcano16]

Another 2 clutch abs.

[sixtolezcano16]

Again Peralta has to pitch on a knife’s edge. Absolutely no room for any mistakes. He’s been pitching like the ace the past 2 weeks. All-star game for sure with Burnes drop-off.

[Devinep]

It’s almost like it’s stupid to triple up lefties just to Kane it easier on the opposing manager or something

[Eye Black]

Well Vogelbach is likely done for a long time. I guess he won’t be batting second anymore. Damn.

 

Edit: I am surprised they didn’t argue he was out of the baseline, because he was 15+ feet outside of the baseline from third to home.

[pacopete4]

Only a matter of time with a body like that. I’m not making fun either. It’s just a lot of stress on a body. Too bad. He just started really contributing.
